Title: Handlebars
Post by: izzie on May 12, 2010, 04:11:35 PM
Hi i'm trying to create a better riding position for my broken up body  :wacko1: I've sorted the foot pegs now for the handlebars?? What about something like xjr yokes and bars?? Has anyone fitted and other kinds of yokes and bars on an fj1200??

You can certainly change top triple and put a tubular bar on.  Things to be aware of include re-mounting ignition switch, and obviously the fork tube diameter.
You can also use the standard triple if you reinforce the lower part before drilling for the bar perches.  Just make sure that the new bar clears both the tank and fairing.

Cheers,
Arnie

Izzie..... I'm getting a pair of these for my FZ1 fork mod. (retaining OEM top and bottom clamps with modifications - boring fork clamps from 41mm to 43 mm)

Bill P (the Fan) is seeing Greg (the owner of Apexmfg) this weekend I believe, so I'll know more soon.

Maybe they will work for you?

Yea, Spiegler makes some neat stuff.
I have some 2002 FZ-1 bars on my '84 and I love 'em. A tad bit wider and taller than FJ oem, very comfortable.
